If I were to introduce two of Jincheon's top noodle soup restaurants, I would recommend Hakdaengi Noodle Soup for its clear and refreshing broth, and Gongju Spicy Noodle Soup for its thick, spicy, and savory flavor. Among them, when the weather suddenly turns chilly and I crave something warm and spicy, Jincheon's 'Gongju Spicy Noodle Soup' always comes to mind. It's a restaurant where once you taste it, you'll keep craving its spiciness.

Gongju Spicy Noodle Soup is located a little behind the alley next to Cheongju Jokbal Bossam Restaurant in Jincheon-eup. Due to the alleyway location, it may be a bit confusing for first-timers. However, it's great because there's a large dedicated parking lot, so you can visit without parking stress.

Gongju Spicy Noodle Soup Menu

The main menu consists of two main dishes: noodle soup and sujebi (hand-pulled dough soup). There's spicy noodle soup, mild white noodle soup, spicy sujebi, and mild white sujebi. Not only spicy flavors are available, but also mild flavors, so those who can't handle spicy food don't have to worry. When ordering the spicy flavor, you can also request it to be less spicy or more spicy! For an affordable price, you can enjoy a larger portion of noodle soup for an additional 1,000 won or sujebi for an additional 1,500 won! If you order sujebi, it may take a little longer because the dough is hand-pulled, so please keep that in mind when ordering!

Inside the Restaurant

The inside of the restaurant is spacious and pleasant. It's a great place to visit with family, friends, or even in groups without any 부담 (burden).

The owner preparing the dough

I came at 11 AM for an early lunch and was the first customer. The owner was preparing the sujebi dough himself. He was cutting the flat dough, which looked like rice cake, to make it easier to use. (I got permission from the owner to take pictures ^^)

Self-serve side dishes

I usually enjoy spicy noodle soup, but today I ordered spicy sujebi after seeing the owner preparing the sujebi dough. While waiting for my order, I grabbed some side dishes. The seasoned bean sprouts and pickled radish, prepared next to the kitchen, are available for self-service. Kimchi is provided at each table as a basic side dish, and it's served in a container so you can take as much as you want. They also brought me a plate of crown daisy, which goes well with the spicy broth.

Spicy and Savory Spicy Sujebi

The spicy sujebi is intense in color! The spicy sujebi at Gongju Spicy Noodle Soup is known for its thick, spicy, and savory broth. If cilantro is essential for mala soup, then crown daisy is essential for spicy noodle soup and spicy sujebi! The spicy broth with crown daisy is addictive. I like the fragrant aroma of crown daisy, and the crunchy texture when dipped in the hot broth is so appetizing.

A bowl of spicy sujebi

I liked that the basic spicy flavor was spicy enough to enjoy without breaking a sweat. It's fun to eat the chewy sujebi with the soft potatoes, so my spoon doesn't stop. It's a fantastic combination that goes so well with the chilly weather!

With seasoned bean sprouts

It's also delicious to eat the spicy sujebi with the crunchy seasoned bean sprouts! If you need to calm the spiciness, I recommend eating it with pickled radish.

Sujebi is a simple dish made by roughly tearing pieces of flour dough and putting them into the soup. That's why it's even more endearing. Every spoonful reminded me of the sujebi my mother used to make. Eating the rustic but delicious food made me feel warm both physically and mentally. I chatted with my friend and ate it bit by bit, and before I knew it, I had finished the whole bowl.

Thank you for the delicious meal.

If you're craving a spicy and rich broth dish in the chilly weather, be sure to try the spicy noodle soup and spicy sujebi at Gongju Spicy Noodle Soup, an exemplary restaurant and affordable price restaurant recognized by Jincheon County! Parking is convenient, and it's close to the Jincheon Central Market, so it's highly recommended to enjoy the fun of exploring the market after your meal!
